Organization and Administration
The schools of Auburn felt the impact of our war econ-
omy more seriously than heretofore. The resignation of
Mrs. Eileen Harris necessitated the hiring of a new teacher
for the grammar grades at the Village School. Miss Mary
Jamrog was transferred to the Village School and Miss
Adela Pinas and Miss Evelyn Conway to Severance, Miss
Ruth Napier continued as music supervisor. The town is
fortunate to retain the services of these experienced teachers.
Small graduating classes from teachers colleges, normai
withdrawals from teaching and additional withdrawals in
excess of normal due to war time conditions are factors
which are making more difficult the problem of securing
teacher replacements. It is probable that this condition will
continue for several years.
An additional source of difficulty due to our war time
economy was experienced in the field of text books. For the
first time considerable delay in the filling of orders was ex-
perienced. The publishers of school textbooks exhausted the
quotas assigned and were forced to delay filling of orders.
The result has been that some orders are not filled until
after a lapse of nine months. This is a situation that will be
remedied as soon as paper restrictions are lifted.
Supplies arrived on time and in sufficient quantity so that
the work of the school was interfered with only slightly.
The restrictions in the field were in the quality of the prod-
uct. Certain grades of paper were by order of W. P. B.
reduced in weight with a resulting decrease in quality. The
reduction in weight did not seriously impair the educative
process but it is indicative of a trend which may become a
matter of serious consequence.
Weather conditions added to the difficulties of the school
program. Frequent interruptions in the school program
were experienced in January and February. The severity
of the winter made it necessary to change the vacation period
and to close school on several other occasions.
70
In addition to the usual repairs on the physical plant the
painting of the interior of the Village school and repairs to
the chimney at Severance school were completed. Both of
these special projects were necessary. The appearance of
the Village School was enhanced and in addition the lighting
was improved because of greater reflection of the light. The
efficiency of the stoves at Severance was increased so that
the smoke nuisance of previous years was cut considerable.
The schools continued to participate in the war effort by
regularly selling stamps. In addition the children collected
milk weed pods in the fall.- The floss was used as a substi-
tute for kapok in life preservers. The children collected 29
bags of pods which, according to the Dept. of Agriculture,
would furnish floss for 14 life preservers. The sum of $5.80
was turned over as the amount paid for the floss.
Budget
The overall budget shows a slight increase of $88.68. In-
creases in some items are counterbalanced by decreases so
that the net overall increase is the above amount. The esti-
mated assets of the school district are decreased by $500.00
so that the tax levy is increased $588.68. In conditions like
we are now experiencing where personal costs are increasing
this is only to be expected. The question, which may be an-
swered by pending state legislature, as to whether it is tem-
porary or permanent is much more important.
Conclusion
The schools of Auburn are feeling the impact of our war
economy more severely as time goes on. This condition is
one which is country wide and is a matter of concern to all.
The superintendent of schools with the help and cooperation
of the board is attempting to maintain educational procedure
at as near a normal level as possible.
Transportation and the severity of the winter have added
to our problems. The situation has not been one of choice
71
but rather one of necessity and the cooperation of teachers,
parents and pupils have made it possible to operate schools
as regularly as we have been able to do.
The attitude of all concerned with the well being of the
schools, pupils, parents, school board and teachers, has^ been
helpful and cooperative. I appreciate the many considerate
acts which have made it pssible for the schools to operate
so well.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERTON H. PARKINSON,
Superintendent of Schools.
